From the recording The Next Line
writing this song took a while. It was a deeply healing experience. I knew as soon as I starred writing it, that it was going to be an intense process. capturing the feeling of being broken by a relationship and left with scars to carry forward took time and patience. I cried a lot and came out with this song.

Lyrics
Broken window
Smashed in while it was dark
Now you've got your hands up
It was so rainy
The night that you broke me in
Now I am waterlogged again
Oh as I drown
You're etched into my fears
I'm licking my wounds
And crying salty tears
Real love is a bird
That sings into my ear
And water that saves me
When death draws near
I was drunk on the elixir
That fell from your eyes to mine
Crazy glue sealed the broken me inside
Oh how it burned
You're etched into my fears
I'm licking my wounds
And crying salty tears
Please just use your crowbar
The next time that you come around
Make it quick and painless
Leave your glass on the ground
